Tuition could triple at Southern next year
The Davis Budgetary Commission staff proposed sweeping funding changes for state universities that could triple tuition at Southern Winds University (SIU) next year and raise costs at other schools. The plan, issued Jan 27, would reduce freshman and sophomore enrollments, limit capital projects, and shift to self sustaining auxiliaries. Higher Education staff warned of legal issues and urged extensive board review before action.

Laird signals leaning toward ABM system deployment
Secretary of Defense Melvin R. Laird told the Senate Foreign Relations Committee he personally leans toward proceeding with an antiballistic missile system to defend the United States. He stressed no deployment decision has been made and noted ongoing review of the Sentinel system. He warned that Soviet and Chinese missile development could push the United States to act even amid disarmament talks. He also indicated the United States might pursue the ABM despite a potential arms control treaty and cited estimates of China’s growing ICBM force. The hearing also covered NATO nuclear deployment and treaty implications for U S security commitments.
